Riding along the coastline of an undiscovered sea
infinite grains of gold draw down the road
till the end of the line,
hiding paths that we can not see
unless we pervert off the main route.
The enormous worm-tube we are sitting in doesn’t seem to be moving
but the crystal white clouds
assure me we have passed some distance.
The strangers taking the same way
are silent
not knowing that upon our return
we would become friends.
The driver’s cigarette smoke chokes my breathing
as I spot an emergency exit
that points towards the sky.
A part of me lets go
and chases this intriguing thread of darkness.
It first pulled at my face
but my body couldn’t follow.
The black light kept me in its heart for a while,
till I saw images of the possible future,
strangely, its lack of clarity only made me see
more of what I don’t like to think of
even when in the light.
I saw red, black and grey colours
of the realities created by humans.
I saw distant figures
walking with hollow bodies
dragging what is left of hope behind.
I saw land filled with rice grains
spilt all over the fields
with no one to pick them up.
I saw an enormous rock
drown in its own fluid.
I saw a gathering of people in white
plan for a massive destruction.
I saw youngsters’ emotions dance around
like spirits of saviors
but only their mouths moved
with no sound.
I saw God’s objectors beaten down with sticks
and mules preaching their own words.
I saw crude penetrations of the free-willed spirit
& brothers executing brothers
for the sake of their nations
for the sake of drinking earth’s black veil.
Those temporary visions of being sucked into darkness
do have their damaging points.
I,
an easy target
that surrenders to the smallest flicker of truth in its abundance,
even if they are only a product of my own mind,
held back from taking the next step
that was for my body to follow.
My angel pulled me back to the light
he told me to always remember this door
& hold on to the key.
I took the hand of the man accompanying me
in mine
& locked the secret between us.
If I shall ever get attracted by the void’s calling
he’d know where he’d lost me
he’d know it is for good reasons.
I then fall sleep with my eyes open
in the arms of whom I love.
